Real boosted by Bale news

A calf injury ensured Gareth Bale missed Real Madrid's past three matches, but he is set to feature in the trip to Sevilla.

Gareth Bale is set to hand Real Madrid a fitness boost by coming back into contention for Saturday's La Liga trip to Sevilla.

The Wales forward has not played since limping off after just five minutes of Real's 3-1 victory over Malaga on April 18 with a calf injury.

However, Bale has trained this week and coach Carlo Ancelotti believes the former Tottenham man has a key part to play as Real attempts to be crowned Spanish champion and retain the UEFA Champions League.
